Welcome to the Gateway of Awe in God’s Winter One-Dear-Land!!!
Wooooo Hooooo!!!!! Tonight, Hanukkah begins! All the feasts that Jesus celebrated follow the Biblical model of a day being counted from sundown to sundown, like in the story of Creation in Genesis 1. “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Genesis 1:5 NASB). The Feast of Dedication – Hanukkah – is an eight-day celebration running from sundown December 12 to sundown December 20, 2017. Typically, the Hanukkah Menorah lights are kindled around sundown. Personally, I am not so concerned at being so exact to start at sundown that I miss the pure heart of entering in. You can find kindling of lights instructions, blessings and devotions below, which are listed under “Have a Hearty Hanukkah!!!”Yeshua (Jesus) did many things during Hanukkah. You can read about it yourself in John 8:12 through John 10:42; because these are the works Yeshua did, and the celebration that He walked in during the Feast of Heart Dedication – Hanukkah.

One of the Hanukkah “I AM” statements Yeshua pronounced is: “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me” (John 8:28 NASB). Not only did Yeshua prophetically announce during Hanukkah the way He was to die, lifted up on the Cross of Calvary; but Messiah Yeshua broadcasts forevermore that if His people lift Him up, then they will know “I AM that I AM.”

Don’t get me started! I simply love speaking about “I AM that I AM!” In Exodus 3:14, the Bible tells us that God said to Moses “I AM who I AM.” In the original Hebrew, it has several translations, including “I will be who I will be” – “Hayah.” Hayah is a unique verb that carries a meaning of what was done in the past. Hayah also carries a meaning of what will be done in the furture, but the present tense for this verb does not exist. Instead, it’s given that the verb “to be” (hayah) is just there. Hayah in the present tense is who you are and what you are manifesting at the present moment. It’s like saying “I Robin” where the “am” in “I am Robin” is already understood to exist, and it manifests in what a person is literally doing. It is all of our present realities.

The redemptive state of “hayah” can be simplified to a righteous State of Being that resonates at the same frequency in which it was originally created. Know that the Hebraic root to the concept of righteousness communicates “to be” (i.e., a righteous State of Being).

When the righteous “hayah” manifestation is coupled with the testimony of the spirit, water and blood in a person’s earth according to 1 John 5:8, it puts an exclamation point to a simple kingdom truth: “Little children, let no one deceive you. HE WHO PRACTICES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, JUST AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS” (1 John 3:7 NKJV). How can we say that what we do doesn’t matter? “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right” (Proverbs 20:11 KJV). Yes. Righteousness is a state of being; but don’t forget that our actions will line up with our words when we practice righteousness. Everyone knows that people who don’t do what they say are hypocrites. “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew 15:7-9 NKJV).

Remember that the Father’s Gateway of Awe is His portal of entry into Hanukkah for His people. Never forget that YHVH’s manifestation of perfection is love. The holy, reverential fear of the Lord flows from His perfect love. Therefore, His perfection is not perfectionism. Our loving and gracious Heavenly Father is not after yucky legalistic perfectionism, so let’s embrace His great grace, as we journey unto the perfection of being made into the image of the Messiah.

All of God’s people need to be able to rightly assess how our actions line up with our words. Then, we need to evaluate how our words line up with the plumb line of righteousness Himself – the Word of God – Messiah Yeshua. When the three witnesses in our earth (spirit water, blood) are united and perfectly one with the three that are one in heaven, the righteous I AM (Hayah) becomes manifest.

“Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He who came by water and blood – Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the spirit, the water and the blood; and these three agree as one” (1 John 5:5-8 NKJV).

If you choose to use today’s STM post for your devotional, the following are some suggested questions that covers all ages from toddlers to full-blown sons of God.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

[1] How many days did Yeshua (Jesus) celebrate the Feast of Dedication – Hanukkah? How many days do we get to celebrate Hanukkah? (Answers: 8)

[2] How many “I AM” statements did Yeshua declare during Hanukkah, and which one did we focus on today? (Answers: 13. John 8:28.)

[3] How can your actions better line up with your words, and then, line up with the plumb line of God’s Word?

[4] What will happen when the three witnesses in your earth – the spirit, the water and the blood – become one with the three that bear witness in heaven – the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit? (Hint: Righteous Hayah. On earth as it is in heaven.)

Did you know that the winter feasts in Scripture are audio-visual rehearsals for the Church becoming the Bride of Christ?

The Spring Feasts in the Bible portray the first coming of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ). The Fall Feasts in the Bible portrays the second coming of the Messiah. And the winter feasts in the Bible (i.e., Hanukkah and Purim) portrays God’s people overcoming the things of this world to become one with the Messiah, as His Pure and Spotless Bride. This is a major reason why I say that the Feast of Dedication (i.e., Hanukkah) is part of His Winter One-Dear-Land as well as the Messiah Himself (our Beloved Bridegroom) is the One shown celebrating Hanukkah in scripture, along with all believers: “At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the Temple in Portico of Solomon” (John 10:22-23 NASB). Please refer to https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/all-believers-meeting-together/.

Tomorrow at sundown, the heavenly door to the Feast of Dedication opens, which is an incredible Gateway of Awe where bridal restoration of one’s DNA is available to whosoever wills. With every feast that Jesus celebrated (and still celebrates) with His people, a new portal opens that makes a grace that’s always available more readily available and attainable. I encourage all of us to enter through His Gateway of Awe into His Winter One-Dear-Land of the Feast of Dedication this year, because it’s going to be a quantum leap!!! Always remember that it is the work of dedicating or re-dedicating one’s altar (i.e., heart) that enables the pure light of the Seventh Day to come forth => https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2017/01/01/7th-day-transfiguration-of-man/.

During the eight-days of the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), there is a fiery open door for purification, which enables and accelerates the kings and priests of the Order of Melchizedek leading their own inner fire bride forth. This DNA Cleanse is only available through the Father’s Gateway of Awe by doing what Jesus did (John 10:22-23). I can testify to the veracity of this statement, because every year since 2014 I have personally experienced a divine acceleration in the cleansing of my own DNA during Hanukkah. Please refer to https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2017/01/01/new-dimensions-of-purity-dna-cleanse-available/.

When believers enter in by heartfelt faith to the kindling of the Hanukkah lights, a joy-filled Bridal Baptism of Fire happens, as we dial into His Presence. In fact, we experienced celebrating Hanukkah at the Messiah’s Table during a recent MM Group Ascension where we were shown that Hanukkah is a bridge to the Tree of Life. The Father values the Feast of Dedication so much that He’s has a Wall of Remembrance that’s an eternal record of every devout Hanukkah celebration. The lights from these Hanukkiah’s (special Hanukkah Menorahs) are reflected in the prism of this Wall of Remembrance; and if you focus in on one of the flames it takes you to the time, place and space where God’s people were honoring His Feast of Dedication => https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2017/12/07/wall-of-remembrance-reveals-joining-the-messiahs-table/.

Today, I just want to encourage everyone who would like to take part in their own DNA Cleanse through entering His Gateway of Awe… the Hanukkah Portal in His Winter Won-Dear-Land. A Facebook friend asked me: How do I enter that portal? My answer is simple: Do what Jesus did. That’s the same answer that Yeshua gave me when I chose to come out of Babylon, lay down Christmas, so I could be part of His Pure and Spotless Bride. Please refer to https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2012/12/21/north-pole-going-south/. Yeshua celebrated Hanukkah for eight-days, and so can we when we enter through childlike faith, great grace and simple heartfelt devotion to this holy and awe-filled of place.

I always tell people that great grace is required for our winter walk in God’s Temple. Always start where you are at. Perhaps, you are willing to look at it. Perhaps, you are wanting to step out and try it. Perhaps, you are ready to go for it. Wherever you are at, start from that genu-wine place. When Yeshua came to me with tears in His eyes and told me that the mixture of Christmas grieves His heart and after He asked me to come out of Babylon and lay down Christmas, I had a simple heart cry: “Lord, I want to. Help me. Show me the way. My husband’s not ready for this. Give me, give us a way out.” His answer for me was very dramatic and very soon => http://wp.me/p158HG-4E.

Just speak your heart to the Lord of Love and ask for His assistance; then be prepared for Him to move heaven and earth for His Pure and Spotless Bride… Y-O-U. Many moons ago, I was getting very disappointed at always falling short of His unblemished bride mark. I told Yeshua my heart, and He told me: “Any person that’s doing the best they can do at any point in time is considered to be a bridal heart to Me.” That was sooooo freeing for me. I hope that it frees you up too.

My final note is not only do I recommend kindling the Hanukkah lights and reading a devotion each night (basic instructions are below), but I also highly recommend taking communion each night too. Ultimately, our DNA is changed through communing with Him.

It is extremely noteworthy that the One we see celebrating the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah) in Scripture is the Messiah Himself: “Then came the Feast of Dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus was walking in the Temple in Solomon’s Porch” (John 10:22-23 Lamsa’s Aramaic). We cannot overemphasize that Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) celebrated Hanukkah for those who want to do as Jesus did.

The Hebrew word “hanukkah” means dedication or re-dedication. I call Hanukkah a Biblical Feast, because it is mentioned in Scripture and because the Word of God (Messiah Yeshua) is the One shown celebrating it. This means that the Father celebrated it with Him, because the Father and the Son are one, and Jesus only did/does what He see the Father doing (John 5:19; John 17:23).

I hear both Christians and Jews say Hanukkah is a minor feast, or a commemorative feast, or a Rabbinical Feast in order to either dismiss it or make it less significant. Those who would like to dismiss Hanukkah usually would rather do the traditions of man, like their ancestors have done, in celebrating Christmas. Those who would like to make Hanukkah less significant, don’t want to see Yeshua as the Messiah, nor do they want to do as Jesus did.

Never ever forget that Hanukkah is actually the antithesis of Christmas. Please refer to https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/yeshua-celebrated-hanukkah-not-christmas/. Hanukkah celebrates the overthrow of Christmas on God’s Altar, which is the foremost point in His Winter One-Dear-Land. God’s Altar is a picture of a person’s heart; therefore, the re-dedication spoken about in Hanukkah is the re-dedication of one’s heart from the Antichrist’s defilement. Please refer to the articles below for more scriptural and historically accurate information.

The Messiah’s Hanukkah Feast has several names, like all the feasts mentioned in Scripture. Hanukkah is also called the Feast of Dedication, the Feast of Lights and the Feast of Miracles. Not only does Scripture reveal that Yeshua celebrates Hanukkah; but when you mine the meaning behind Solomon’s Porch (Solomon’s Colonnade), you see that it was the place where all believers meet. “The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And ALL THE BELIEVERS used to MEET TOGETHER IN SOLOMON’S COLONNADE” (Acts 5:12 NIV). Please refer to https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/all-believers-meeting-together/. The hidden and profound message revealed in John 10:23 is not only did Yeshua celebrate Hanukkah, but all believers did too. Talk about an exclamation point to doing what Jesus did!!!

Recently, we had the most glorious group ascension where the Father took us to His Hanukkah Wall of Remembrance. I could see recorded in that Wall of Remembrance every heartfelt celebration of Hanukkah throughout history, which in reality are facets of His story. Messiah Yeshua is always at the head of the Table of any feast mentioned positively in Scripture, including Hanukkah. I strongly encourage everyone to personally connect to Yeshua and the Father’s heart through this incredible divine encounter, because all are welcome at His Table => https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2017/12/07/wall-of-remembrance-reveals-joining-the-messiahs-table/.

When we celebrate Hanukah, like Jesus did in Spirit and Truth, the vital ingredients that make up the essence of the Light of the Messiah are progressively revealed to us. Two of the essential components to the Light of the Messiah are the Seven Spirits of God and the Hebrew Living Letters.

The Seven Spirits of God are connected to the seven-branched light in God’s Temple. All that is given through the incredibly marvelous gifts of the Seven Spirits of God is designed to bring the Bride of the Messiah into a place of fullness where she is without spot, blemish, or wrinkle. Along with heaven’s will, the Seven Spirits of God enabled Yeshua to fulfill His high and holy calling (Isaiah 11:1-2). This will also be true for the kings and priests of the Order of Melchizedek who are leading their own inner fire bride forth with the goal of becoming a critical part of the fullness of the Heavenly One New Man in the Messiah – the Oneness Metatron Matrix. Please refer to:

The Hebrew Living Letters are literally the building blocks for all creation. They are also connected to “Let There Be Light!” The Hebrew Living Letters are individual spiritual forces that are/were inherent in the Word of God – Messiah Yeshua Himself – in the beginning. When God spoke “Let there be,” the individual spiritual forces of the Hebrew Living Letters that originally belonged, and still belong to the nature of the Messiah (Christ) were first created out of nothing but God’s desire; then mobilized as the protoplasm of all created light and life. For more revelatory information => https://santatizing.wordpress.com/2016/12/28/the-hebrew-living-letters-connection-to-let-there-be-light/.

The Light of the Messiah and its essential ingredients are very profound mysteries that are being revealed for such a time as this. We will be focusing on all this and corporately celebrating Hanukkah together during the “LIGHT OF THE MESSIAH: ONLINE INTERACTIVE CONFERENCE” being held Friday, December 15 to Tuesday, December 19 => http://www.sapphirethroneministries.com/events.html. We hope that you can join us in celebrating at the Messiah’s Hanukkah Table.

“The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them” (Isaiah 9:2 NASB).

Welcome to God’s garden. The door is open. Come on in. In the midst of the garden is a white concrete bridge that’s over a small stream. The small bridge only takes 2 to 3 steps to cross. Accept His invitation to cross over the solid little white bridge that’s in the darkness of this world. Then, behold, ancient chains being rolled up to let the captives free.

There’s a light snow on the white cement bridge, which hints at the winter feasts in Scripture that the Lord’s dear and pure Bride will join in doing what Jesus did (John 10:22-23). Hanukkah is a bridge to the Tree of Life. Cross over and be one with Him. Do what Jesus did (John 8:28). Embody the fullness of the Messiah in His Winter One-Dear-Land. Winter One-Dear-Land is a mystery, which God has held for such a time as this. We shall all be changed. We shall all be gathered together in one according to His grace.

Let’s enter His rest and be enveloped in the peace of Psalm 23. Let’s become one with the Tree of Life and be His fruit. Listen. Hear His joy-filled music play: “We are one in the Spirit. We are one in the Lord.” Let’s all hold hands and work together with Messiah Yeshua. His new wine is being poured out over the interlocked gears of His Body, which enables His Mature Body to be in perfect sync with the Mature Head.

Give em heaven!!!

A glimpse into the sample group ascension that is at the end of the following MM Biblical Foundation for Ascension in Christ Class => https://vimeo.com/246340048 .

The son of the kingdom – Malachi – writes about a Book of Remembrance that was written before the Lord about those who feared and esteemed His Name: “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His Name. ‘They will be Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him”’ (Malachi 3:16-18 NASB).

Just as there is a Book of Remembrance in the heavenly realms, there is a Wall of Remembrance that’s a prism with flames reflecting from it. When you peer into the prism wall, it reflects the various celebrations of Hanukkah from history. The flames reflecting from the Wall of Remembrance are His record of the kindling of the lights during the Feast of Dedication.

When we focus on the Father’s Heart, we are taken to a particular time and place to a small room in a humble house with a woman and a little toddler. Yeshua walks in the room and its illuminated with His Presence and His glory. He seats Himself at the head of the table and starts inviting others. Yeshua says: “Come. Come to My Table.” We take communion with potato latkas and wine. We hear “Join me as the Messiah.” We feel vibrations in our bodies when we take bites of His super-charged latkas. When we take one bite as the One New Man in the Messiah, we feel shaking, like a jolting, going up and down the Body of the Messiah.

The Great Cloud of Witnesses start to join us: John the Baptist, Mary the mother of Jesus, Yeshua’s twelve disciples, the five Maccabee brothers, etc. It’s an intimate party where we tangibly feel the Presence of the Lord. Yeshua puts His hands on one body and says: “All are welcome at My Table. There’s unity at My Table.”

The disciples are very happy and having a good time Mary is smiling as she watches her Son. The noise is getting loud in the room with laughter and sharing. Someone is dancing close to the table in the midst of the room. This woman has a way of dancing that’s very free and totally surrendered to her Lord of Love. She is worshipping totally in Spirit. The worship opens the room to another realm where it’s the Eternal Now – past, present, future are all happening at the same time.

There’s a young boy that’s 10-11 years old sitting next the Lord with his mom behind him, her hands on his shoulders. It’s Chana of Hanukkah fame and her youngest son. We tell of the true tale how Chana and her seven sons didn’t deny the Lord their God when faced with public humiliation and a gruesome death from the Antichrist. We are honored at having such devout hearts join us. We see all of Chana’s sons bow with a victor’s crown interwoven in their hair. Everyone at Yeshua’s Table at His Party applauds, as Chana’s sons bow.

The little toddler comes up to Yeshua. Jesus embraces him, as the little boy asks to kindle the lights. Yeshua, as the “shamash” (the servant candle that lights the other candles), ignites a flame on His index finger. The toddler touches Yeshua’s finger to receive the flame, followed by Chana’s seven sons. There’ are vibrations and different colors coming out of the flames and swirling up. Everyone looks up and says: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…” in amazement. There’s a euphoric feeling.

We are meant to be one. God’s desire is for us to be one at His Table. There’s so much room to overcome for His sons and daughters to join the Messiah’s Hanukkah Table. It’s the Lord’s heart’s desire for us to join in.

Sapphire Throne Ministries will still be selling both the individual smaller books as well as the new larger volume Understanding the Order of Melchizedek. Even though there are additions, modifications and corrections in this new edition, the integrity of the previously published books is kept mostly in-tact.

Know that a very unique chapter entitled the “Fullness of the Messiah Bodily: Metatron” has been added to the eighth book in Understanding the Order of Melchizedek book, which reveals a vital key for growing into the 100-percent fullness of the Messiah bodily. Another major addition is found in “The Original Melchizedek” Chapter of the second book Practical Keys to Unlocking Melchizedek. The new section is called “Assignment of Death.” Here I share my own ascended experience in overcoming an Assignment of Death, as a king and priest of the Most High God.

If you’d like to try to walk as Jesus walked during the Winter One-Dear-Land Season, Hanukkah 2017 starts a week from today. It starts sundown on Tuesday, December 12 and continues to sundown Wednesday, December 20.

If you will recall, the Bible show Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) celebrating Hanukkah. “At the time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the Temple in the Portico of Solomon” (John 10:22-23 NASB).
